Main & SKY

$$$$ | 201 Heber Ave., UT, 84060, USA

Smack in the middle of Old Town, this contemporary hotel blends chic modern design with a mountain feel, and all 33 rooms are suites or residences, providing ample space to relax and take in the views of Park City and historic Old Town.

Park City Mountain Resort's Town Lift is a block away.

Pros

  • Prime location
  • Large, luxurious rooms
  • Great views

Cons

  • Location on Main Street means no escaping the action

Main Street Station Casino Brewery Hotel

$ | 200 N. Main St., Las Vegas, NV, 89101, USA

It's worth a visit to this pint-size property for the Victorian-era aesthetics alone, displaying stained glass, marble, and an antiques collection that includes Buffalo Bill Cody's private railcar, a fireplace from Scotland's Preswick Castle, and lamps that graced the streets of 18th-century Brussels. The rooms at Main Street are some of the nicest Downtown, and they're usually available at rock-bottom prices. Guests have access to the pool at the adjacent California Hotel.

Pros

  • Decor and quirky antiques
  • Great value
  • Few restaurant options

Cons

  • No pool
  • No gym
  • Small property

The Maine Hideaway Guesthouse

$ | 19 Naskeag Point Rd., Brooklin, ME, USA

Set in a former residence built in 1874, this inn's simply appointed rooms are all named after types of boats, a nod to the fact that it caters mainly to students at the nearby WoodenBoat School. All of the simply decorated rooms have air-conditioning; most have en suite bathrooms.

Pros

  • Friendly innkeepers
  • Full and delicious breakfasts
  • In-room a/c

Cons

  • Decor is nicer in some rooms than others
  • Tends to book up
  • Not all rooms have private baths

Mainsail Beach Inn

$$ | 101 66th St., Holmes Beach, FL, 34217, USA

If you're looking for upscale digs on low-key Anna Maria Island, you'll find them at this small, amenity-laden complex. Half the units here have two bedrooms, the others have three, and all have full kitchens with granite countertops as well as the latest appliances. The complex wraps around a large courtyard with a pool and a hot tub. All rooms have a balcony; all are also just steps from the beach. Beach Bistro is just across the parking lot. And though the shopping and dining on Pine Avenue isn't exactly a quick walk (it's a couple of miles north), a free beach trolley will get you where you need to go. Vacancies are scarce during high season, so book early.

Pros

  • On beach
  • Upscale apartments
  • Full of amenities

Cons

  • Vacancies are scarce in high season
  • Early (10 am) checkout
  • Pine Avenue shopping is a few miles north

Mainstay Inn

$$$$ | 579 Hill St., Southampton, NY, 11968, USA

Hospitality is the hallmark of this charming shingle-covered colonial inn, where every bedroom has antique cast-iron beds and country pine furniture. Each shabby-chic room also seems to be filled with yard upon yard of fabric: generous floral table covers and drapes, white duvets, and quilted spreads. From here it's a 15-minute walk to Southampton and a mile to a public beach.

Pros

  • Outdoor saltwater pool
  • Continental breakfast is included
  • Pets are not allowed but well-behaved children are

Cons

  • Not as glitzy as other B&amp
  • Bs
  • Two- or three-night minimum weekends in-season
  • Strict cancellation policies

Mainstay Inn

$ | 635 Columbia Ave., Cape May, NJ, 08204, USA

Fourteen-foot ceilings, tall windows, a thirteen-foot hallway mirror, and black walnut dining-room furniture show a pedigree of money and manners. The two wealthy gamblers who constructed the building in 1872, as a gambling clubhouse for their friends (men only), obviously meant to impress. In 1971, the Mainstay became Cape May's first B&B, and since then has been the archetype for those that followed. You can also stay at the adjoining Cottage, or across the street in a duplex apartment. Guest rooms and suites have Victorian antiques, while the apartment has some traditional flourishes, but is mostly contemporary with a full kitchen, gas fireplace, and a small dining area.

Pros

  • Accurate period decor and furniture
  • Downtown location

Cons

  • Standard breakfast
  • Expensive

MainStay Suites

$ | 2507 N. 9th St., Bismarck, ND, 58503, USA

From the outside, this looks like just another business hotel, but its bland exterior is delightfully deceptive. Inside you’ll find not only clean, well-maintained suites with full kitchens, but also an indoor mini-water park, complete with two twisty waterslides. It’s naturally a popular spot with families, and the staff is therefore used to making guests of all ages feel welcome and appreciated. The MainStay is just off Interstate 94, a couple of miles north of the city center.

Pros

  • Fully equipped kitchens
  • Indoor water park

Cons

  • A bit too family oriented for business travelers
  • Not in a pedestrian-friendly part of town

Maison Fleurie

$$ | 6529 Yount St., Yountville, CA, 94599, USA

A stay at this comfortable, reasonably priced inn, said to be the oldest hotel in the Napa Valley, places you within walking distance of Yountville's fine restaurants. Rooms at this Four Sisters Inns property are in three buildings: the main house, built as the Magnolia Hotel in 1873; the Bakery Building, thought to have housed the Magnolia's bakery for a time; and the Carriage House. These structures all share a French country style but vary dramatically in size and amenities. The most spacious rooms, in the Bakery Building and Carriage House, with private entrances, decks, and fireplaces, provide great value for their price. The five smallest ones, four Petite Queens (10x12 feet with no televisions) and the even smaller but ever-so-darling Garrett Queen (9x9 feet but with a TV), represent Yountville's best lodging bargains.

Pros

  • Smallest rooms a bargain
  • Outdoor hot tub and pool
  • Free bikes

Cons

  • Lacks amenities of a full-service hotel
  • Some rooms pick up noise from nearby Bouchon Bakery
  • Hard to book in high season

This French Creole cottage built in approximately 1840 is on the National Register of Historic Places and features finely crafted furniture, beautiful gardens, and a monthly Secret Suppers Series that brings together James Beard Award-recognized artists, Grammy-nominated musicians, and an unforgettable setting to enjoy a world-class meal. Only one party of guests are able to stay on the property at one time, so book your suite as far in advance as possible.

Pros

  • Beautiful surroundings
  • Gorgeous house filled with an upscale Cajun charm
  • Two-minute walk from Lake Martin

Cons

  • Only one party of guests can stay at a time
  • Not within walking distance to town
  • Dinner is not available on the property

Built in the 19th century, this quiet bed-and-breakfast features 11 rooms with early Acadian antiques. Don't miss out on breakfast, which is a three-course Cajun affair. The owner, Ravi, is a kind and informative inn keeper.

Pros

  • Beautiful grounds
  • Glass of wine, delicious breakfast, and house tour included in rates
  • Spacious rooms

Cons

  • 20-minute walk places you away from downtown
  • Problematic history as a former plantation home
  • If you're a private person, shared breakfast with other guests is a social affair

Rooms have high ceilings and large, luxurious baths; some have private balconies and sitting rooms. Homemade breakfast may include specialty egg dishes and praline French toast. Fresh-baked brownies and tea are served throughout the day; a complimentary fruit and cheese board is served in the charming front parlor on Friday and Saturday evening.

The Maj Hotel

$$ | 2225 Spring Garden St., Philadelphia, PA, 19130, USA

At this appealing modern, tech-forward boutique option a short stroll from the Philadelphia Art Museum, the cool industrial vibe (think concrete floors, exposed brick) is warmed up by plant-draped common areas, colorful art, and thoughtful design choices and finishes throughout. Most rooms aren't large, but they use space efficiently and have good-size bathrooms with smart mirrors; bedside lighting is controlled by smartphone (or a walk to a light switch). In season, there's seating outside the building, and the comfortable seating in the lobby and lots of tables by the coffee station create attractive spaces for relaxing or working year-round. The leafy streets of Fairmount and restaurants are a short walk from the hotel. A concierge screen is helpful, but someone is at the front desk to assist. The hotel has a fitness room, and public parking lots are nearby. 

Pros

  • Superb location for those interested in museums and Fairmount Park
  • Good range of room types, and some have a patio or kitchenette
  • Modern building with effective soundproofing

Cons

  • Not best choice for the tech-averse
  • No full-service restaurant and no coffeemaker in many rooms
  • Coffee and snacks in café, but fuller breakfast just three days a week (restaurants are nearby)

The Majestic Hotel

$$ | 528 W. Brompton Ave., Chicago, IL, 60657, USA

Everything at this charming boutique hotel says homey—from the quiet, side-street location to the roaring fireplace in the lobby and the complimentary round-the-clock coffee service. Guest rooms are contemporary yet cozy, and plush bathrobes hang in the bathrooms. Great for a stay off the beaten path, yet still within walking distance of Wrigley Field and the many shops, bars, and clubs of the Northalsted neighborhood. 

Pros

  • Friendly staff
  • Some rooms have pullout couches
  • Free Wi-Fi

Cons

  • You'll have to walk a block for a cab
  • Rooms can be small
  • Parking is off-site

Makena Surf

$$$$ | 4850 Makena Alanui, Makena, HI, 96753, USA

For travelers who've done all there is to do on Maui and just want simple but luxurious relaxation at a condo that spills onto a private beach, this is the spot. The secluded complex, which hugs the South Shore coastline, is designed to belie its size—from the road it's hard to tell that the two- to three-bedroom units are taller than a palm tree, all with ocean views. Privacy envelops the grounds, which include remnants of an ancient Hawaiian fishing heiau (a temple comprising a rock formation).

Pros

  • Away from it all, yet still close enough to "civilization"
  • Great snorkeling right off the beach
  • Laundry facilities in every unit and daily housekeeping

Cons

  • Too secluded and "locked-up" for some
  • Split-level units may be difficult for guests with mobility issues
  • Check-in at a different location

A lush courtyard with a fountain anchors this delightful, historic inn built as twin town houses in 1862. Historic rooms that were part of the original homes feature 14-foot ceilings, antique reproductions, and original hardwood floors. Courtyard rooms added in the 1960s have hardwood floors, antiques, and antique reproductions. No matter which you choose, the feel is mid-19th century but with modern amenities like a pool, cable TV, and wireless Internet access. Tunnels under one house were used as hiding places by Confederate troops. 

Pros

  • Historic location with tours available
  • Complimentary off-street parking
  • Friendly staff

Cons

  • Courtyard may be occupied by special events
  • Traditionally styled rooms not for everyone

Mammoth Mountain Inn

$$ | 1 Minaret Rd., Mammoth Lakes, CA, 93546, USA

If you want to be within walking distance of the Mammoth Mountain Main Lodge, this is the place, and, in summer, the proximity to the gondola means you can hike and mountain bike to your heart's delight. Accommodations, which vary in size, include more than 14 room types, from standard hotel rooms to condo units. The inn, ski lodge, and other summit facilities are likely to be razed and rebuilt within five years, bringing more of a 21st-century ski resort feel to what's been a quaint 1950s-born resort. Meanwhile, the inn has done a respectable job with continual refurbishing.

Pros

  • Great location
  • Big rooms
  • A traditional place to stay

Cons

  • Can be crowded in ski season
  • Needs updating
  • Not in the heart of town

Mana Kai Maui

Manchester Grand Hyatt San Diego

Primarily a draw for business travelers, this hotel between Seaport Village and the convention center also works well for leisure and family travelers. All rooms have water views, modern furnishings, and windows that open to the coastal breeze. Two pools, several sports courts for basketball, tennis, and volleyball, a spa, a 24-hour market, and seven restaurants and bars mean you don't have to leave the hotel. But, if you do leave, the trolley station is one block away, and the Gaslamp's clubs and restaurants are within walking distance. Sally's Fish House & Bar offers locally sourced seafood and has a picture-perfect patio on the waterfront while The Landing is a great spot to sip a craft cocktail.  Be sure to catch at least one sunset from the Top of the Hyatt bar on the 40th floor.

Manor on Golden Pond

$$$ | 31 Manor Rd., Holderness, NH, 03245, USA

A name like this is a lot to live up to, but the Manor generally succeeds: it's one of the region's most atmospheric inns, situated on a slight rise overlooking Squam Lake, with 15 acres of lawns, towering pines, and hardwood trees; the grand Van Horn Dining Room for refined contemporary fare; and a small but well-outfitted spa. The rooms, most with wood-burning fireplaces and more than half with double whirlpool tubs, have a British country theme, and canopy beds, vintage blanket chests, and tartan fabrics fill the sumptuous bedchambers. Drinks in the endearing Isaac Bistro & Pub is a memorable way to finish the evening.

Pros

  • Fireplaces and Jacuzzis in many rooms
  • Gracious common spaces
  • Afternoon high tea is served in the library

Cons

  • The top-tier suites are quite expensive
  • Furnishings could stand a little refreshing
  • Not suitable for younger kids

The Mansion Inn

$$$$ | 801 Rte. 29, Rock City Falls, NY, 12863, USA

Paper-bag inventor George West had this 23-room villa built in 1866 across from one of his mills, 7 mi west of Saratoga Springs. Today it serves as a luxurious B&B where special services may include being picked up at the train station by the inn's Bentley or having cocktails delivered to your room on a silver tray. Intricate moldings, mirrors, and mantels grace rooms with 14-foot ceilings and Victorian furnishings. Some rooms have four-poster beds; all have down comforters. In warm weather you may opt to have breakfast on the long porch overlooking the mansion's gardens and ponds.
